tsm: TypeScript Module Loader

tsm is a TypeScript Module Loader for Node.js, currently at version 2.3.0, enabling seamless execution of TypeScript and modern JavaScript files directly within Node.js environments without a separate compilation step. It leverages `esbuild` for high-performance transformations, allowing developers to run `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.mts`, and `.cts` files out-of-the-box. The package is actively maintained, with recent releases addressing compatibility with newer Node.js versions and `esbuild` updates, indicating a responsive release cadence. Its key differentiators include comprehensive support for multiple Node.js execution paradigms: direct CLI invocation (`tsm script.ts`), the `--require` hook for CommonJS environments, and the experimental `--loader` hook for ECMAScript Modules. tsm also handles complex interop scenarios, such as requiring ESM `.js` files, and supports modern TypeScript features like the `satisfies` operator, making it a robust solution for developing Node.js applications with TypeScript by simplifying the developer experience.
